Several: While on birth control, you should always ask your pharmacist about any possible interactions, even with over the counter or natural medications. Antibiotics, for example can decrease the efficacy of the birth control, so you should always use condoms when on antibiotics and birth control, to be extra safe. Good luck.

Many, too many: Too many to list and you've proabably nto heard of most of them. Instead when you think you need a medicine, ask your doctor about that one specifically.
